Monday, SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 |Eight school districts across Wyoming, including Carbon County, have filed a brief with the Wyoming Supreme Court last week. The school districts argued with a lower, district court’s decision, in February, that declared the state’s school funding model unconstitutional. Laramie County District Court Judge Peter Froelicher’s ruling in February sided with the educators, concluding that the Legislature had failed in six critical areas. The WEA and school district officials argue that this has depressed the salaries of educators and staff, which are now deemed inadequate to recruit and retain qualified personnel. As the state’s mandated “recalibration” process for school funding continues, the arguments presented in this brief will be central to the Wyoming Supreme Court’s review.
